bro those are roaches you good?

I've never been so sure of saying "EWW"

they are adorable

Nope. Just plain EWW

then just say "Aeww"

This is why I love evolution. Because stuff like this has popped up and it’s amazing to think how things that work this well came to be

Masha'Allah

God

Brilliant design or random creation?

it's biomechanical you can say

agree

I've never thought of it this way, but it makes SO MUCH sense

It's funny because the great majority of cockroach species don't live where we do, it's only a hand full of species that are common pests. People that keep pet roaches usually keep more exotic ones like hissing roaches, dubias, Halloween hissers, porcelain roaches, glowspot roaches, domino roaches, harlequin roaches, question mark roaches, emerald roaches, and many many more. There's so many beautiful species in the hobby and some people never know about them because they only think of the pest roaches!

If you cleaned up after yourself, they wouldn't love it as much.

@@castleanthrax1833 Spoken like someone who's never been poor and/or lived next to conditions, out of your control, that they do love.

Man the smell they leave..and they are so hard to get rid off

That's what she said!

The clown car of the insect world

It's kind of comparable on how some women can have multiple birth or babies inside them in just one birth like sextuplets, octuplets, etc.

@@stuff4everthe best opportunistic use of this joke I've seen in some time! Excelsior!! 🤪

@@mislavkrznaric1635comment of the day right here

it's truly horrifying... they hatch in SIXTEENS. 😨

As someone who grew up in a house whose roach species can FLY, I have seen, held, and crushed roach eggs. If you dealt with flying roaches, you would understand why I am more than willing to touch eggs to destroy eggs.

@@Aereto me too

@@Aereto Some of em can fly and those are the most terrible. Just you there sitting and the rough is flying randomly around eesh

@@Aereto All roaches have wings, and all of them CAN fly, most choose not to unless they are in serious danger, like their usual foul smell diversion and running doesn't get them away. Doesn't mean they're particularly good at flying, but they can get quick bursts of flight, kinda like a grasshopper jumping.

Yep, both roaches and mantises lay oothecae, theyre also closely related!

@Ant Lab do this next!

Yes, mantises are overhyped roaches. (No, seriously, they are closely related. And termites even more than mantises to roaches)

@@definitivamenteno-malo7919 I will say that roaches are underhyped mantids. While they definitely can be bothersome pests, they are fascinating in their own right, and deserve a bit more respect in my opinion. And mantids are objectively awesome

@@CeeJMantis Yeah, sure, I will respect roaches... that ain't pests. Which, frankly, are the majority of the family. Only 4 or 5 or so are "domestic", the majority are forest dwellers.

I know right, like watching mammals give birth is way more disgusting from a visual point of view than roaches hatching, in my opinion anyway 🤣

@@kryptonite754 NO

Very true

@@naufalalbari no to mammal birth, or no to insect birth? because uh, i don't know if you've ever seen someone give birth, but it can get pretty gruesome, and fecal matter is often involved. plus, there can be tearing or prolapsing, and then afterwards there can be preeclampsia which can be fatal. or like, excessive hemorrhaging. and sadly, maternal mortality is a real issue, and it's unfortunately rising... either way, theres a reason people faint during childbirth LMAO

@@Cheshieruu I said no to insect birth

Samee

Yeah, they’re actually pretty adorable!

Because their are defenseless, a newborn trying to live their life

I agree

I didn't find it gross either but then I saw the larvae of parasitic waps hatch from a live caterpillar, that definitely grossed me out

Huh?

You're sick. Seek help

Still, as someone who is grossed out by roaches as much as the next person, they are really cute little things, they remind me of brine shrimp.

@@tylerwilliams33 They're really interesting insects and by far the most fun to raise. I love spiders and mantises but they don't tend to move much. Roaches are very expressive and active little arthropods and they're social so they have cool interactions with each other. By far some of the most intelligent arthropods in the pet industry. Especially Hissing Roaches!

@@renc7305 I had alot growing up and various tanks and enclosures, it's fun to see what a lot of them can do with their numbers and how their little civilization progresses in its own way as they learn and do new stuff, then the process repeats 🤗 I don't keep any at the moment but I totally agree.🙌

Whats the difference between an German cockroach and a Waterbug? And which two flies? Just asking incase I run into them in the house?

I was thought fear with FLYING roaches. I would flee the room in the past, but I have a salt gun and foam sword, but roach chitin would necessitate higher salt velocity only achievable with CO2 salt revolver pistol.

Yep, they're great until you almost swallow one because it fell in your water glass at 3am. Growing up poor is a hell of a drug.

Would almost have the same opinion if i knew they didnt bite

@@wonderpunch4984 they don't bite actually so feel free to love em! I've raised over 30 species as pets and they don't bite. That's why they're popular as feeder insects, they won't bite your frogs or lizards. They make excellent pet insects!

@@renc7305 uh they bite

@@chuckpuck6744 Anything with a mouth can bite but roaches don't bite as a defensive tactic. You're more likely to be bitten by a dog. I've literally handled thousands by this point and have never been bitten. Anyone swearing they bite like ants or can actually hurt you is either misinformed or fear mongering. You can read Orin McMonigle's book on roaches; he's THE authority in the world on these insects and has spent decades studying them. He explains how and why they're not a danger to you. You LITERALLY would have to press a roach headline into your arm to force a bite that can't break skin. You have nothing to fear from a roach.

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

You need help brother.

A watched egg case never hatches 🤔

yea the green was very striking too... it can't be algae or any sorta chlorophyll right? maybe it's hemolymph? blue blood + something yellow...

why
